Welcome back! In this first week of English 112 we discussed the course outline and dove right in by starting Unit One: Short Stories.There was a handout given on the first day, Elements of a Short Story, that is very important. There will be a test on these elements next week!  We started our first short story: "Twins" by Eric Wright. We read this in class, discussed, and there were vocabulary and questions assigned for homework. The answers were gone over in class on Friday. We also started our second short story: "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson. Vocabulary and questions (#1-4 on sheet) were assigned on Friday and will be discussed in class on Monday. *Reminder to students: please find a novel by Monday's class for your independent novel study.
